Well look around and check out the asking prices for one thing.
The seller did ok but considering what he is talking about replacing the car with...

As I said.

I don't think it's fair to compare stock bodied cars to ones with body kits. Two different animals in my mind. I understand the cost of the kits but that does not always enter into the formula when it comes to selling from what I see. Interesting sales non the less.
Keith.
Certain cars seem undiscovered as an example Dino Ferraris about 6 years ago when an they were sub-$100,000.00...now $400,000.00.
and you're right in regards to comparing relatively stock Panteras to one's with body kits.
Maybe I need to clear my nasal passages & smell the roses as to the "discovery" & subsequent rise in valuation of the DeTomaso Pantera brand.
One suggestion I will pass along is with numbers matching engines garnering a premium to collectors & the inexpensive cost of a 351C block, do as I did & remove ( if you have) the numbers matching engine) prep the engine for storage & build up another Cleveland to run in the car.
